Up Close & Personal with Tiffany Coleman

Nov 10, 2008

Today we finish up our series of Up Close & Personal
interviews with junior Tiffany Coleman. This pre-med biology major
plays in the midfielder and defender positions for the Lady Bobcats
and comes to Lees-McRae from Centreville, Md. Join us as we get to
know her better.

1. What made you decide to come to Lees-McRae
College? My main reason for coming to LMC was to play
soccer.

2. In which part of the game does your strength
lie? When my team mates start getting tired I use
communication and encouragement to keep them in the game and not
let them give up

3. What do you do to prepare yourself for
matches? I listen to my iPod.

4. Who has had the biggest impact on your soccer
career? My mother…she has been there from my first
soccer game to now. She has supported me in everything I have done
with soccer. Also, she has worked my whole life just to make sure I
could do everything possible to be the best player I could be.

5. What is your favorite part about being a member of
the Bobcat soccer team? The best part is my teammates.
They are honestly amazing, and I would not trade them for
anything.

6. What personal goals did you set for this
season? My goal was to stay focused and try to score a
couple goals.

7. What is the biggest mental challenge you face on the
field? My knee. Due to my ACL surgery last year it will
be a tough battle with my knee to stay calm and not get frustrated
at it when I don't get something right away. But I know mentally I
will be strong and not let any challenge beat me, and I certainly
won't give up.

8. Who has been the biggest role model in your life?
How? Mark Allan Turney has been the biggest role model.
He has inspired me so much through his life styles and his
dedication to play soccer. He never gave up on anything in life and
he has taught me to always go after the things in life that you
want the most. And anything is possible if you just believe in
yourself.

9. What is your idea of a perfect afternoon?
My idea of a perfect afternoon is lying on the beach beneath the
hot summer sun with a bunch of friends.

10. If you could try something new today what would you
try and why? I would try flying a plane because I would
love to see different places all around the world from a different
angle.
